Graphite & Gold Ruffled Pedestal Candy Dish

A ruffled graphite bowl raised on a gold pedestal

The Ruffled Candy Dish pairs an undulating, flower-like bowl with a slender gold-plated pedestal. Deep graphite enamel covers the interior, while the reflective gold exterior traces every curve of the hand-shaped rim.

Designed for sweets, nuts, olives, or fruit, the generous eight-inch bowl brings height and contrast to a dining table, buffet, or bar. Its sand-cast aluminum construction offers the refined appearance of porcelain in a durable metal form suited to serving.
